[Verse 1]
You left your glass on my sink
And your old note by the door
I kept both like a joke
Now I can't do that anymore
You said my name like a bruise
Soft and mean at the same time
I still hear it in the hall
When the pipes start to climb
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to act fine
Tried to laugh it off
But your shadow got louder
Every time the house got quiet
[Chorus]
You broke me clean
Then you walked away
You broke me clean
Like it meant no thing
Now I bite my tongue
Till the blood tastes sweet
You broke me clean
And you took the piece
[Verse 2]
I found your earring in my coat
Still warm from that last night
I should've thrown it in the bin
But I held on way too tight
Now the couch has your shape
In the dents where you used to lean
I keep moving through the rooms
Like I'm haunting a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to act fine
Tried to laugh it off
But your shadow got louder
Every time the house got quiet
[Chorus]
You broke me clean
Then you walked away
You broke me clean
Like it meant no thing
Now I bite my tongue
Till the blood tastes sweet
You broke me clean
And you took the piece
[Bridge]
I don't hate you
That would be easier
I hate this place
With your name in the air
If you call tonight
I might answer once
Just to hear you say
You never cared
[Final Chorus]
You broke me clean
Then you walked away
You broke me clean
Like it meant no thing
Now I bite my tongue
Till the blood tastes sweet
You broke me clean
And you took the piece
You broke me clean
Yeah, you took the piece
